Synthetic butadiene-styrene rubber is one of the most widely used types of rubber for the production of vulcanised rubber materials for a variety of purposes. Because of their low stability during processing and use, however, and also through the influence of other factors such as light, radiation, temperature, exposure to air (oxygen, moisture) and the like, elastomer compositions lose valuable physical/mechanical properties, which gives rise to a need for their stabilisation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
